A Genuine Oroshky.

The Russian Embassy has among its
par.phcrnalia genuine droshky, which
vehicle is attracting much attention.
1t is ridiculous little concern; some
thing like child's phaeton without
canopy. The seats are two in number,
one for the driver and one for the Oc-
cupa1t. neither being more than wide
enough for one person. 1t is low.
very low. not more than two feet from
the ground. The wheels have spokes
of iron wire. like a bicycle. On the
front seat sits an enormous Cossack
weighing at least two hundred and
ffty pounds. with great yellow beard
and red cheeks and plain Russian
square-to, ped cap, and on the rear
seat is a very small Russian diplomat.
The vehicle is drawn by an enormous
long-tai.ed stallion. and the effect when
you stand in front is that Of a frantic
horse. all hair and legs. Upon the
whole 1t is q very absurd affair. though
doubtless the jeunesse dore will imi-
tate the thing very soon.-Washsngsos

which the thieves had been crucified:
but . ready solution Of the question
presented itself. inasmuch as the one
of which the Empress was in search
had the distinct power of working all
miracles, that not being the case with

and the third she gave to Constantine,
who placed it in the Church of SAINTS
Croce at Rome. AT these places festi.
walls and pilgrimages were established.
and fragments of the wood were soh
ut fabulous prices to rich pilgrims.
who. no doubt, thought they possessed
the gift of working miracles through
their aid. When this anticipation Va.
not verified by the facts. the priests
give out that the wood retained its
virtue through the vices and follies Of
mankind. but that instead it assumed
the power of self-multiplieation. con-
venient and highly remunerative fic-
ton. At the present time q large
number of continental cities are said tc
possess fragments of the true cross, and
even in England an occasional relic
may be met with, as. for example, at
St. Mary's Convent. York; at Plowden
Hall. in Shropshire; and the Church OF
ST. Georges. Southwark.-In!erior.

Europe's SIN allest State.

The territory of M,resnet. near AK
la-Chapelle, on the boundary line be
tween Prussia and the Netherlands. is
an independent community. and has
the curious distinction of being the
smallest state in the world. 1t contains
only six square kilometers. and. when
originally recognized as an independent
power. had only fifty squalid huts. the
inhabitants of which worked some zinc
mines. 1t now, however. has eight
hundred houses, and its people are
quite well-tO-do. Its administration is
conducted by burgoma-ter and ten
councilmen. Each inhabitant pays six
francs a year. which keeps the schools
and roads in repair. There is no mill
tary service. and the standing army
consists of one man. who is the police
man. This is really an ideal republic,
for it has no poor and no rich.-Demo

THE TRUE CROSS.

Legendary History OF It's Discovery by the
Empress Helena.
The story which attributes the find
ing of the actual cross on which Christ
suffered to the Empress Helena, the
mother of Constantine the Great. rests
upon the concurrent testimony of four
Byzantine historians, named Rufinus,
Socrates, TheOdoret and ZOzOman.
who wrote between seventy-five and
one hundred years after the incidents
related. These authors agree that the
Empress being urged by dream to
proceed to Jerusalem. went there; and.
having called together the chief Jews.
fixed upon one bearing the ominous
name of Judas. who, as it turned out,
had been told by his grandfather
where the true cross was buried. though
on no account was he to reveal his
knowledge to any one; for, to quote
the .'Golden Legend" latter that hit
shall be founder the Iewes shall reygne
no mOwr; the cristen men that wor-
shipped the Crosse shall then reygne. :"
Judas for long time follows the COM
mandment OF his grandfather. but
upon being rut in a dry well and
threatened with starvation. he relents,
and points to the spot where the
crosses are buried. These arg found.
and apart from them, at some little
distance, board with Pilates inscrip-
ton in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. The
difficulty now evidently was to dis
tinguish the true cross from those upon

no means stumpy.
Here is mystery. The girls are the

wives themselves. 1t would seem to be
the proper thing to see girls of sixteen

and so up growing in fat and stumpy
red fingers as they progressed in years.
But it is not so. 1t is either the slender
girl or the enormous broad woman.
Do they keep on being slender for
certain number Of years and then in
night develop into broad women? Or.
when they get to a certain age, do they
quit the fish market and stay away
from it till they have widened and
brOadened sufficiently to 90 into the
market again of the orthodox shape:
As no one in time of peace ever saw Il
dead mule the question is naturally
what becomes of the mules when they
get old? So in this case, how is it with
the fish-woman? Why is it that you
only see the two types? There are
many mysteries in nature-too many.
But slender or ponderous they
know all about fish. They can handle
them with celebrity, and dwell upon
their merits with an unction that
would make their fortunes in any
lucrative business where . glib tongue
and ready wit is requisite. And then

not satisfied with her stock and go

is any thing peculiar about you-you
have been measured beforehand and
the sore spot in your makeup is merci-

over are noted for sharp tongues. The
Billingsgate women in London are

How IN Illiterate Carpenter Managed to

In an ancient and very wealthy town
near Philadelphia live two brothers
who began life penniless. and are both
unbelievably illiterate for their age.

master mason, one master carpenter.
and they are between forty and fifty
years old. Of the two, the mason sha.

remain till the end of the chapter.
while the carpenter is the owner of sew
eral houses that rent for high price,
and might, if he pleased, live hence
forth at ease in his own artistic and
luxuriously equipped house. The
whole secret is in the carpenters scru-
puiously polite manner. No patron
was too insignificant for him to try to
